They're pulling all the stupid issues out of the barrel for the RU486 debate aren't they?

You can tell someone is a racist [The Age] when they don't even realise they are.

[Liberal backbencher Danna Vale] said: "I've actually read in The Daily Telegraph where a certain imam from the Lakemba mosque actually said that Australia's going to be a Muslim nation in 50 years' time," she said.

"I didn't believe him at the time, but you know when you actually look at the birth rates and when you look at the fact that we are aborting ourselves almost out of existence by 100,000 abortions every year and that's on a guesstimate.

"You multiply that by 50 years, that's five million potential Australians we won't have here."

So? The inference in the comment is that it would be a bad thing for Australia to be majority Muslim. Pauline Hanson said almost the exact same thing about "Asians". Vale is also creatively calling "Muslim" a race by attaching the word to population growth issues.

People who make these comments run our country.

Watch out "Aussie" women, you'll be conscripted into having children next. Must keep that "Australian" birth rate up.

I think I'll rename this blog soon. The "An Un-Aussie Music Fan".
